10:15 // 11:15 Round Table. Omnichannel: how is it
applied in real world for fashion?
Omnichannel retailers let consumers experience the brand, not a channel within a brand.
Merchandise and promotions are not channel specific, but rather consistent across all
retail channels. The brick-and-mortar stores become an extension of the supply chain in
which purchases may be made in the store, but are researched through other “channels”
of communication. With omni-channel retailing, marketing is made more efficient with
offers that are relative to a specific consumer determined by purchase patterns, social
network affinities, website visits, loyalty programs, and other data mining techniques.

Leading companies that develop apps, services, and storefronts need to consider how
their product is used on multiple devices and screen sizes. This includes considering
how their product will adapt when a customer moves between devices to accomplish
a task. All digital managers, especially in the e-commerce field, should be aware of that.

Several changes in the Russian e-Commerce Fashion market have transpired over the
past year. User interest in online shopping with the intent to purchase has increased
by 16% in the last year in Russia. This major growth has offset falling interests in the
general fashion category. Brand leaders have also changed over the last 12 months.
Shifts in user interest in brands have impacted the dynamics of local online retailers
versus international online retailers. When it comes to regional dynamics, the Russian
Central region maintains a strong interest in online shopping but the regions are seeing
a serious rise in interest in e-Commerce.
e-Commerce gives to the Fashion sector a whole new set of business opportunities.
Innovation is crucial and start-up companies can adapt more easily and faster to the
changing environment: let’s see what’s new!

NetComm Suisse’ objectives:
NetComm
Suisse.
E-commerce
in Switzerland
10
Besides being an alternative selling
channel for goods and services,
electronic commerce in Switzerland is
now an economic reality, involving a
number of small and large companies
wishing to diversify their marketing
and sales strategies.
In this context, there emerged
the need for a Swiss e-commerce
association: NetComm Suisse, the
first and only entity of this kind
in Switzerland. The main goal of
NetComm Suisse is to support the
interests of all companies operating in
e-commerce, supplying services and
promoting networking activities for
operators and merchants.
To encourage collaboration among companies and to represent them
towards institutions.
To promote the understanding
of digital communication and
e-commerce services and
technologies.
To support e-commerce operators in legal, tax, copyright, safeness
and development issues.
To communicate through different media about themes related to e-commerce.
To define methods to assure the quality of services offered by e-commerce operators and of safety standards.
To produce documents about electronic commerce and, more broadly, digital media for members and general public.
To disclose the results of public or private research.
To promote knowledge and
experience exchange among
associates.
To encourage the creation and
the development of companies operating in the e-commerce field.
To supply services to associates.

Interview
E-commerce, meets Fashion in the “Ticino Fashion Valley”
Platinum sponsor
Andrea Cappi
Global e-Business & Digital Director
at Liujo S.p.a., Magif Group
After 5 years at Yoox dealing with brands in the full-service providing area, Andrea
has been Global e-Business and Digital Director at Liu Jo since 2012.
1) Fashion has been the key driver in the e-commerce growth over the last few
years, particularly thanks to private sales and native online models. What are
the main drivers that encouraged consumers to buy online according to your
evidence?
Without any doubt, private sales played a major role in driving the first wave in
fashion e-commerce from 2008-2010 and they contributed to a large extent,
particularly in Europe, to educate consumers by increasing awareness and trust in
online purchases: as a result Vente Privèe and Privalia became brands themselves
and this was due mainly to the pricing leverage and to a “wow bargain effect”
their model is based on. After 2009-2010, pure players took the lead in the various
segments thanks to a higher appeal: Net-à-porter, Luisaviaroma and myTheresa are
now a major destination in luxury fashion, Yoox plays the same role in off-season
market while Zalando and Asos continue to grow in a “lower” segment.
2) Smartphones have made consumers’ purchase path more complex: besides
the traditional “research online, purchase offline”, showrooming has produced
the opposite behaviour. How fashion brands should cope with this?
I worked 5 years at Yoox and, since 2012, I have been managing the e-commerce
operations at Liu Jo: the latter experience has shown me how shoppers use, with
growing ease, online shopping to get informed before dropping into the store.
The same way, our store managers get often support from our website to show
consumers products when they are vis-à-vis. This is due to the fact that often there
are more product information online rather than offline. As a matter of fact we
suggest, on our website, total look outfits and other relevant recommendations.
3) A provocatory article on the Economist wondered whether retailers would
become pure shopping windows for Amazon and other large marketplaces.
How is e-commerce impacting on fashion retail players?
The “ceremonial” aspect in the luxury retail world will continue to play a necessary
role in the relationships with the brand and also with transactions.
18
We are opening more stores because the empathy between clients and store
managers is crucial in terms of engagement and “client telling”: obviously we
think physical stores will contribute significantly to increase results also as
communication and service environments.
4) Liu Jo has already defined a corporate omnichannel strategy and, within
a couple of months, you are going to roll-out the first drop of the relevant
project. Can you comment on this?
As a first step, we will create the “backbone” for the omnichannel strategy, ie.
we are going to merge into a unique “customer data hub” customer online data
and physical stores data: data routed from web analytics will be added up as
they will be useful along the conversion path. Being able to fully manage users’
information is one of the reasons why we think brands should go for a proprietary
solution rather than a full service provider. As a second step, we’ll implement the
complete omnichannel strategy introducing user clusters, activating marketing
automation tactics and, of course, omnichannel opportunities like “click and
collects”, “ship from store”, etc. Additionally, consumers will be able to see onand off-line purchases and store managers recommendations on their online
account.
5) Fashion brands are main actors in social media and most of sales and
communication digital models have first been experienced by such companies
like digital PR relationships and drive-to-store initiatives. On the other side,
we’ve seen several shortcomings in managing reputation appropriately on
social media. Any suggestion on how to best deal with social platforms?
Starting from March 2014, we have set-up a dedicated social media team both
for customer care and for communication purposes. Such attention has turned
the Facebook page into a real service for clients routing questions like where
products can be bought, what they look like, etc. Our main objective is to be
effective and fast, to give a “tailored” answer to all questions as to increase our
customer base engagement. These are the KPIs we monitor to measure our
performance on those channels.
6) An important Fashion Event will be organised by NetComm Suisse on April,
23rd. Why have you decided to attend?
The event organised by Netcomm Suisse is a good chance to share our
experience with peers in Switzerland. Lugano is becoming a barycentric hub for
fashion: set along Italy, France and the UK. The country is becoming strategic
not only for the headquarters lots of brands have in Lugano and Genève but also
for the e-commerce fullfillment centres as well as for digital capabilities that are
being set up.

Enhancing your
operations to
drive value
The greater the demographic, economic and environmental changes
global companies face, the more complex the process of value creation
becomes. PwC offers you support right along the value chain – from
coordinating your operations to optimizing your international tax,
legal and financial structures – to help you make the most of change.
And steadily boost your profitability.
Byte by byte to the digital business model.
Empowered, critical, demanding and pricesensitive: today’s consumers want quality
products, sustainably and fairly produced,
for the lowest price, anywhere and at any
time. To meet these demands, retailers and
consumer goods companies need to adapt
their business model while maintaining
pressure on costs and continuously
increasing productivity. PwC helps you
rise to these challenges. Our solutions are
segmented into four must-address areas to
better address your needs: Cost reduction
and process optimization, sustainability
and climate change, security and privacy
and, very important and most recent, digital
transformation.
Digital transformation affects all industries.
Taking steps that are not well thought out
can be just as risky as not making any
move at all. PwC will help you identify, and
implement, the most appropriate options,
all based on a matrix of services that
connects all fields of strategy as well as all
aspects of business.
Social media, e-commerce, mobile Internet
– digital technology is firmly rooted in our
daily lives. Tablets and smartphones are
rapidly altering the way we communicate
and consume, and will without doubt
continue to do so.
This means that companies must complete
their transformation from the conventional
to the digital business model quickly and
appropriately. You can rely on PwC as an
expert partner. We support your digital
changeover from analysis and strategy
through to implementation. And we
back you with one clear goal: to create
sustainable value for your digital future.
